Love Is A Miracle

Chapter 18

Nichelle POV

2 weeks later...
It was 8:30 PM and for the life of me I couldn't sleep. I hadn't been able to sleep full hours because I'm so angry, my body just won't let me.

Then when I sleep, i don't know, I just don't sleep 8 hours. I wake up after 4 hours and I'm back into crying and overthinking.

I turned the lights on and I grab a bottle of water from the fridge. In passing the living room I stop in front of a mirror.

I start analyzing my facial features my hair my smile. "What is it that she has that I don't?" I mumbled

I moved on to my room and I grabbed my phone. I typed in Vanessa Kelly into my Instagram search bar.

Immediately her account came up and i clicked on it.

She had tons of pictures and obviously a lot of men loved her.

She obviously had a good body and good hair. She was pretty, gorgeous even. I got up to look at myself and I became self conscious.

Maybe it's because my hair needs to be longer? Or maybe I need to go to gym and become curvier?

I was interrupted by my doorbell ringing. I left my room and went to the door.

I peeped through the window and saw Mr. Avery.
I opened the door and saw my baby laid asleep in his arms.

"Hi Mr. Avery"

"Hi Nichelle, can I come in?" I nodded "sure" I stepped aside so he can walk and shut the door when he did.

"Thank you for holding her"  I took her from him. "It's no problem, she can come by anytime"

"One second, I'm gonna put her down" I left to put my baby in her bed and returned to Mr. Avery.

"So, were you able to get some sleep?" I sighed and sat in the couch.

"I have but it's not enough" I almost cried saying that.

He came over and sat in the couch.
"It's not my place to ask but I'm concerned for you dear." I look at him and can see the genuine concern.

"Why won't you speak with your husband?" I turned around and began to look everywhere else.

"Umm.." I struggle to say it because it's so embarrassing.

"He cheated" I whispered. My eyes betray me as tears began falling out.

"I'm so sorry Nichelle" he said as I covered my face and cried.

I feel his arms enveloping around and I allow him to hug me. "I can't believe he did that to me" I manage to say in between crying.

I cried for what feels like forever. I simmered down and continued to lay in his embrace.

"He's my best friend Mr. Avery"

"I can't even phantom the idea of being with someone else because of the profound love I have for him"

I finally decided to sit up. "Did he ever tell you why?"

"He said it was a mistake"

"Yeah but how did it lead up to that moment?Why did it lead up to that moment?"

"Every man has a reason behind cheating and there should be a reason behind what he did because as you said, you two share a unique and deep love for one another. It doesn't make sense for him to just cheat on you"

"You're a beautiful woman, highly respected and successful. You've both created a beautiful family and Zachary is a man of honor. Excellent man to work with, morals, values are good so there's got to be a reason behind this"
